Additional Information: This piece is designed to look different from every angle. The cutouts shadow and give dimension to the space without filling it. The shadows are as important as the sculpture itself. I want people to play with the space, shapes and shadows and be interactive with the art by looking through it, touching it and going inside it.

Additional Information: The cattail, a quintessential symbol and survivor of the plains, is the essence of wind and water. Its form has an evolved, aesthetic beauty that serves as a container for complex and diverse information. The artists seem them as historical scrapbooks in capsule form.
